Portal runs Jan 2-16 now, so nothing official. Not sure if there are guys who have left or recruits that have decommited. I honestly haven't paid much attention to them outside of this thread.

The early signing date is about a month away and, according to 247 Sports, Sac has an astonishing 485 offers out. They are also showing 35 commits and 15 decommits at this point. It will be interesting to see what their recruiting class looks like given the complete mess and bad press that Wood has created and the failure of Hornets to dominate all of the "JV FCS teams" on their schedule so far.

Looks like the MAC (a conference with UMass, Directional Michigans, Bowling Green and Ball State) might take sac state... now that would be crazy for 10000 reasons.

Ball State, Bowling Green and directional Michigans wont draw more than Montana, Cal Poly or Davis for them. Best of luck.

Sac wouldn’t need lights for their imaginary Cal Expo stadium because a 7pm Pacific kickoff is bad for tv audiences in Eastern time.

SAC is going to have to take their medicine and prove themselves in either in the C-USA or the MAC if they want to go to the PAC or MWC.

My money is on a C-USA invite in November.

This November? Like in the next couple weeks? Hopefully not too much money.

you don't think a Tuesday night matchup with Akron will fill the Cal Expo Stadium?

Screw the MAC, it should be Big10 or bust!!

Don't give Dr Wood anymore reasons for more delusions of grandeur, Mike!

A few years ago I would have said Sac St joining the MAC is the stupidest thing ever, but we currently live in a world where USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington are in the Big 10 and Cal and Stanford are in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

It's pretty insane to voluntarily trade Saturday games vs Davis, CP, Montana, etc for Tuesday/Wednesday vs Akron and Ball State

Hey but at least the MAC is Varsity and not JV's!

I don't know, I'm pretty excited about the potential of the new Ball Sac rivalry.

what would the trophy be? The Cup Cup? Presented on field by Dr Wood?

They played each other in baseball earlier this year. That game was nuts.

You realize only some of the MAC games are moved to mid-week, only in November, and are on ESPN and ESPN2. Not ESPN+ or ESPNU, or the Ocho or Pluto TV.

Okay, I laughed hard.

I think I'm one of the few people that prefer the games on ESPN+. It's probably because we still have a younger kid and it's such a cheap add on to Disney+ (we don'tpay for Comcast/YouTubeTV/Sling/etc.). That, and I prefer the local homer announcers and local commercials.

I've never watched one. Neither have you. Don't lie.

Winner gets a championship belt, which can be nicknamed the Jock Strap.

How soon does Sac start bleeding players w only three games on the schedule and no new league affiliation?

About as soon as their allowed to enter the portal. I wouldn’t mind picking up that RB if he can pass classes at UC.

Portal opens January 2.

There is another portal related to head coaching changes. As people have noted, Marion doesn't stay in one place very long, but don't know that he did enough this year to draw the attention of teams looking for head coaches. However everything about Sac football is in flux....schedule, league affiliation, divisional status, facilities...chaos theory run amok.

Did I miss the November MAC football-only announcement that we were promised?

I would expect a large number of Sac players will enter the portal as "insurance" against not having a schedule for next season. With only 3/4 games "inked", my guess is that they are having a very hard time finding games. Might also have a hard time holding onto players that have already committed for next year, especially any receivers.

With all that is going on, or going off, at Sac, they may lose a lot of coaches too.
